Yep, they sure do look like they were sent to the newspapers, I dug mine out but I couldn't find Silent Running but I did have advertising press kit and mine are for the theaters (posters/daybill). I wonder if they ever had anything like I have for when SW was going to be released? I can't find any in the archive.

Here's some pic's I took so others can check it out.

Thunderbirds Are Go Pressbook 1966.

Journey to the Far Side of the Sun Advertising Publicity Promotion booklet 1969. This also has on the back page, 2 mail away orders for free commercials and radio spots.

There are the four pin holes, as indicated plus the damage to the card in the upper right corner and a pretty healthy crack in the bubble. Still, it's in pretty nice shape and the seller did an excellent job of packing it to protect it.

The figure has lost paint on hands and feet, the cloak is worn through at the back but the damn cane is the right colour. Fourth time is the charm Now to try and sell it off without a cane or just parcel out the parts. But Yoda is now happily complete and in great shape with both a brown and an orange snake and their correct, corresponding canes

I guess it depends on how anal you want to get, but different shades of the same color do not constitute a variant for me. And the green snake still doesn't look green to me.

I know many loose collectors will disagree with me, so flame away.

I won't flame ya Andy, but I hope my scan of my own Green Snake Yoda will help give insight to the topic...

I've had this guy for about 5 years now, it's quite green to me. There is no indication of a brown snake fading, a common reason given by proponents of this being really a brown snake. Nor have I seen anything to show that this green is really just a different hue of brown.
